DNS

Domain Name System. An Internet naming system that maps, or translates, domain names to addresses. See domain names.

domain names

Internet. The domain name consists of a sequence of subnames separated by a period. The individual sections of the name might represent sites, groups, or computers, but the domain system simply calls each section a label.

For example, the domain name super.dec.com, contains three labels: super, dec, and com. Any suffix of labels in a domain name is called a domain. Thus, the lowest level domain is super.dec.com, an abbreviation for the computer named super. The second level domain is dec.com (for Digital Equipment Corporation); and the top level domain is com (for commercial institution). As the example shows, domain names are written with the most local label first and the topmost domain last.
